Emotional Labour in the knowledge production process – Online networking event hosted by Candice Whitaker at Leeds Trinity University

Tuesday 8 December 2020, 11.00am – 1.00pm

QMiP is pleased to host a networking event to explore the topic of Emotional Labour in the knowledge production process. Emotional Labour is a frequent component of the knowledge production process. The significance of displaying context appropriate emotional expression is likely to be amplified for the researcher utilising qualitative research methods, especially when exploring potentially sensitive issues. The event is an opportunity for section members to connect and participate in an engaging dialogue surrounding the essential role Emotional Labour often plays in qualitative research investigation.

This networking event aims to facilitate personal and professional development by providing a space for members to reflect on and discuss the significance of Emotional Labour in their roles. Discussion will focus on the de-individualisation of emotion work and identification of the importance of suitable support provision, education and awareness of emotional labour in the knowledge production process.

This event will focus on Emotional Labour in the knowledge production process, both in terms of its potential implications for research activity, as well as the importance of awareness and discussion within research methods teaching practice.

This event is open to Members engaging in qualitative and mixed-methods research, as well as those planning and delivering qualitative research methods training.
